My Travel Story

Traveling has been an enjoyable experience for me ever since I was a young. Traveling is something I have always been passionate about as well being able to learn about other cultures and values when visiting other cities, states and countries. Having traveled to at least 10 states and 3 countries, I would be honored to add to this list as well as my passport booklet. Studying aboard is a helpful, yet insightful part of one's education and/or career. Being able to take classes and learn about another country allows students to exposure out of their norm, new cultural experiences and personal development. This can have a profound impact on students because they are able to study with one another and discover new techniques of learning and research. When students are helping one another, whether from their cohort or the students at the country they are visiting, it in turn helps globally because the students are now able to know how to work together with people from different countries. It allows both sides to look at things in a different perspective.
For me, being able to study aboard on the European Business & Cultural Program, will allow me to further understand business techniques in other countries as it pertains to a Master's in Business Administration. Although traveling is a passion, this particular opportunity has never been granted or offered to me. So, being able to be a part of this program will assist in broadening my thoughts, decision processes as well as learn a new education system. What intrigued me the most about this particular program is that we would not only be in one country but we will have the opportunity to visit four countries! I have finally been accepted into this program, and it would be an honor to see more of the world outside of the United States, learn through immersion in different cultures, career opportunities, making lifelong friends, and strengthening my personal development. This experience will give me a chance to fulfill my dream of being able to travel to countries that I would have not encountered anytime soon. This program will let me take the classes to finish my MBA while learning and experiencing with other students around the world who are studying the same subject(s). There will be many new perspectives and concepts that I can learn while aboard that I may not normally be able to learn here in the states. As cliche as it may sound, "....the world is your classroom, and it's full of great resources" and I want to experience and obtain these resources that are being offered through this study aboard program.
